I am a young scholar of Edgar Allan Poe as you can take in from the overall image of my blog. I decided to create this blog made up of Poe's quotations to emphasize the deeper meanings of his works. My design scheme is dark and most likely depressing to many much like the content of my blog. Although many may not typically be drawn into reading something representing dark and depressing emotions Poe's works possess these elements, they prove that a good piece of literature doesn’t necessarily have to be a happily ever after fairy tale. The images are gory but reflect the mood of not only the quotations but the overall moods of the story which they have been taken from. Each image represents a different story and most importantly the quote i have chosen them for. I hope that through both my quotations and overall blog appearance I can change the minds of people who would normally shy away from the stories written by Poe.
I feel that it is important to portray a certain appearance to match the theme of your blog because it adds to the emotions of the blog posts. Since mine are gloomy I wanted the appearance to give off dark emotions which will help people to better understand the emotions and mood within the topics I am discussing. Enjoy!
